Where Do You Find Your Offbeat Star Wars Goodness Online?

As I was slogging away on the GB directory today, I "suddenly" realized that there's just such an insane amount of cool Star Wars stuff out there on the web... it truly is overwhelming. Hey, for a guy who runs a directory... overwhelming is the name of the game; it's my reason to be.

But I also stopped to consider all of the places I've found those choice nuggets of Star Wars goodness. I'm not talking about your mainstream Star Wars news. Heck, when Lucasfilm, LucasArts or whoever else pops up a press release or news story on their main sites... there's plenty of folks (including me) ready to grab the ball and run.

Instead, I'm talking about those odd, strange, weird, kooky and whacky Star Wars things you find on the web. The fan-made Star Wars teapot, the picture of an Pennsylvania license plate that reads "AT AT", the video of a cat eating a Gamorrean Guard action figure... or even the Lego Star Wars Nativity scene (which we posted on the main page yesterday). Those offbeat tidbits are the reason some have accused me of spending far too much time hunched over my keyboard in my Herman Miller Aeron chair.



I look all over the place for that stuff, and I never know where I'm going to find it. There's some tremendous blogs that dig up some odd tidbits, Flickr has many buried treasures and there's always Bonnie Burton at the ready with a Star Wars knit potholder or papier mache Ewok. (Bonnie remains a shining beacon in my quest for the interesting. How we've never met, I've yet to comprehend.)

But my question to you is... where do YOU go to find these things? Do any recent online adventures pop to your mind which made you say, "Wowza... look at that! I never knew anything like THAT was out there in the fandom universe!" If so... share it with us!
